Jan 6, 2015 at 12:31 comment added Somniare Sorry, I'm wondering about the derivation of the angle of minima in the diffraction pattern rather than one of the de Broglie wavelength.
Jan 5, 2015 at 9:11 comment added CuriousOne @Somniare: The "derivation" is on the same page as the online calculator: hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/debrog.html#c1 and there is a good Wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave. I don't think that I could add much to what's there. Maybe one word of caution: these are all handwaving arguments. The actual scattering theory of electrons on nuclei is hard core quantum field theory.
Jan 5, 2015 at 9:03 comment added Somniare Although you are very clear in the practicalities of the matter at hand would you please be able to explain how the equation has come about rather than its usage?
